Question

Which statement is an example of the transitive property of congruence

Answer 1

The answer is C
Transitive property means...
If a =b and b=c then a=c

Answer 2

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

According to the transitive property congruence, if first and second triangle are congruent, second and third triangle congruent then first and third triangle must be congruent.

Let A ,B and C are triangles. If

`A\cong B, B\cong C`

then,

`A\cong C`

In option on two triangle are congruent. For transitive property we need three triangles therefore option A and B are incorrect.

In option C,

`\triangle EFG\cong \triangle HJK`

`\triangle HJK\cong \triangle MNP`

Then,

`\triangle EFG\cong \triangle MNP`

Therefore option C is correct.

In option D the relation between three triangles is not given therefore option D is incorrect.
